Atta girl. Stay in touch.
Atta girl. Stay in touch. Tearen's voice came out of the Crystal Ball that Malon used to communicate, before falling silent again. Before moving out however, she took deep breaths, doing as best as she could to not let the fear, the borderline panic, the number of impressions played on her by her surroundings, by the teleportation and by the sudden presence of a backpack weighting down her back side... to not let all that overwhelm her. Breathe in, breathe out, put the backpack aside, put the tablet down, breathe again... okay, that was a little better.
First of, stop being scared of your surroundings, Assassin told her once Malon had calmed a little. The illusion was very helpful even in a situation like this. This is just another architectural style that we are unfamiliar with. Listen to your surroundings.
No sooner did Malon start focusing than she heard footsteps. Someone was walking through the streets of the city, and they were close. She pressed her back against a wall and readied herself to pull out a weapon, but the steps grew quieter again after a little while, indicating that whoever was causing them was moving elsewhere. And in the opposite direction of her, no less - towards the south. She picked up the tablet with shaky fingers, doing her best to calm her racing heart, and began to move north.
There's another thing, Assassin said. It won't help you much in an actual battle but you can use the powers of a Skinwalker to change your colors. If you could turn yourself darker to avoid standing out against the ground and the walls for instance.
I'll keep it in mind... this shapeshifting is making me feel a little exhausted, Malon thought in response. Before long, a beep of her tablet, as Tearen called it, showed that she was in a different zone now. She looked around and listened but could not find a trace of her to-be ally.
Hopefully he hadn't gotten in trouble? There were more than enough people around this area that she trusted to attack anyone else the instant that they met.
